Donaldson (United Press Staff Correspondent) San Francisco, June 19.—With a program scheduled that would make a high-brow college student dizzy, the International Association of Chiefs of Police opened its twenty- ninth annual convention in the Exposition Auditorium. chiefs will be in session a weck. The session was called to order to- day by President August Vollmer, “scientific chief of police” of Berk- eley, Calif. Routine business and appointment of committees were on today’s program. The lectures, con- ferences, and addresses will begin at tomorrow’s session. When the chiefs aren’t elevating their brows several inches, or aren’t busying themselves looking up big words in the dictionary trying to find out what the lectures, arranged by Chief Vollmer, who hires college graduates for policemen, are all about, they will be royally entertain- ed by the committee headed by Chief of Policc Dan O’Brien of San Fran- cisco. Chief Vollmer has arranged a se- ries of lectures by the most mnoted psychologists both here and abroad. One of the principal speakers will be Dr. M. Carrarra, world-famed crim- inologist of Turin, Italy, who will discuss “Abnormal Psychology and the Criminal.” Heredity, environment, psycho- pathic personalities, feeble-minded- ness epilepsy and insanity are other subjects of lectures. Crime prevention, even more than crime detection, will be dwelt upon by the chiefs in their discussions, ac- cording to Chief Vollmer. The problem of the automobile crook and the dope fiend, which, dur- ing the past few years, have in. creased the complexities of efficient detection of crime, will come in for exhaustive study. Police corruption, dishonest juries and lawyers, bail bond, brokers, po- litical interference with police effi- ciency and anarchy will also come up for lengthy disc: on. The administration of a police de- partment, the organization of a de- partment of maximum efficicncy with the minimum expense to taxpayers, the education and training of police officers, and the latest wrinkles of keeping a bureau of records, espe- cially the classifying fingerprints, are also on the program. The latest methods of criminal court procedure, ,including the prep- aration of cases and the evidence necessary, and the most recent dev opments of criminal investigation, in- cluding practical demohstrations of “lic detectors” and similar devices, form another division of study for the chiefs. (By United Press) Cincinnati, June 19.—R4il union and mine workers union chiefs were today approaching the conference on joint action with the confidence it will develop practical measures of co-operation. While B. M. Jewell and John L. Lewis, miner’s chief, declined to dis- cuss specific measures that may be adopted, both said “there were a number of practical things that could be done.” The first formal meeting will oc- cur Tuesday night, but will be fol- lowed by a public statement which it was cxpected today would leave no doubt of the intention of the rail union leaders’ declaration to go through with the strike, if union workers vote for it. The rail leaders last night formal- Iy notified the labor board that the recent rail decigions were unjustified and that union sanction would be JOHNSTON UPHOLSTERY SHOP BEING REPAIRED AFTER FIRE The C.

Clark (United Press Staft Correspondent) Washington, June 19—Without half trying, Uncle Sam is making money out of his naval radio cquip- ment. The comme ried not only red the government of its own businessTy.,6ms” open bui brought into the United States Treasury last year more than $600, 000 in cash. Back in 1917, the commercial mes- sages brought $32,239 to the treas- ury; in 1918 this jumped to $291, 903 and it continued going up, so in the total of s cal year is keeping up the record. These figures were disclosed by an extensive report on the naval radio ice and what it is doing, filed with the Senate appropriations com- mittee in its hearing on the naval appropriation bill. ~ Admiral Robison, chief of the burcau of engineering submitted the data. Radio research and experimental work by the navy has ulted, Rob- son’s statement showed, in a large number of valuable improvement. He listed a few of them including: Great improvement in facilities for seerct communication; doubling the capacity of the crowed ether to car- ry radio m increasing the range of aireraft radio sets from 50 to 500 miles; reduction of the weight of aireraft radio cquipment, thereby saving fuel; developement of a pilot cable for harbors and land- ing ficld making navigation and landing . if foggy and rainy improvement of simultan- cous communication, so that it is now ble to send five messages at once, instead of only one Speed of long distance sending has been increased six-fold, so that 60 words a minute instead of 10 can now be sent; automatic trasmission and reception have been made pos- sible; a kite has been perfected for liftng and cmergeney antenna from an airship forced to land on water, thus making possible a speedier res- cue; advances have been made in con- trolling ships and torpedoes by radio. Admiral Robison also listed a great number of technical advances having to do mostly with the cff iveness of the naval radio in time against enemies by land or se: He declared the 214 naval rado st tions now in servi ely serve not only the Asiatic, Pacific and At- lantic fleets, but the American Mer- chant marine as well. A listening device for detecting enemy submarines and other craft has been brought to perfection, he said, and will shortly be installed on destroyers and a few battleships. The details of this invention, Admir- al Robison pointed out arc confiden- tial. ar SOUTHERN DOCTORS MEET AT ROCHESTER CONVENTION 1 Rochester, June 19.—More than one thousand doctors and their wives are in Rochester today for the open- ing of the Southern Minnesota Medi- condition.
